About this title

Synopsis

This book is very practical in addressing the areas of church multiplication and reproduction from ten points of view in response to Jesus command. "As our teams apply the Biblical principles explained in these pages we see fruit: disciples are made, churches are born and multiply." - Kevin Sutter, Church Planting Coach, Youth With A Mission

About the Author

George Patterson planted churches for over twenty years in Central America; since then he has coached church planters in different cultures. In Honduras he began by training pastors in a traditional, resident Bible Institute with poor results. With the advice of more experienced missionaries and much trial and error, he later saw churches multiply through the instrumentality of "Theological Education and Evangelism by Extension" (TEEE). This non-formal pastoral training resulted in twenty years in about 100 new churches in northern Honduras. This model is now used with similar results in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well in the United States, and is distributed as Train & Multiply TM.

Richard Scoggins founded and coordinated the Fellowship of Church Planters in Rhode Island for many years and now works as a coach for church planting teams working among Muslims, in addition to continuing to plant churches in England. He came to Christ through Quidnessett Baptist Church in Rhode Island, which had the goal to reproduce new churches. He was involved in this first effort, the Cranston Christian Fellowship. This followed a centralized, large group church model and emphasized spiritual healing and personal discipleship focusing on Christ as the model for character development. He says, "During this time I learned by personal experience that God provides leaders from a congregation's midst, as we combine opportunities for service with practical training."
